Update Carly is Home!!! Yea!!! 23 April

[momtomany]

Please pray for my Carly (Car Car). She was an emaciated stray that showed up at our house about 5 years ago. From an emaciated skin and bones cat she has grown into a big momma (16.2 pds). She is the sweetest baby and a purring machine. Last night I went into the dark back bedroom to open the window with the cat seat a little higher. I didn't realize Car Car was laying below as she is a dark tabby. I accidentally stepped on her. She got up and stretched and appeared to be fiine. Well my daughter called me while I was out today and said Carly was laying in the bathroom and breathing funny. I came home and took her to the emergency vet. X-Rays showed that I bruised her lungs when I stepped on her and they are full of fluid. I am absolutely devasted. The x-ray also showed that at some time Car Car had been shot by a 22, which is a huge shock also. Please pray for my baby that she will be okay. I haven't been posted much lately as life has really been difficult this definetely is not going to help. Thank you for praying for my baby.
I have attached a couple of pictures of her below.

Oh dear. What a beautiful baby. She's in good hands at the ER Vet's office. Hopefully she'll pull through and get to come home soon. How awful that she was shot at one time! Obviously she is a fighter.

A prayer being sent for pretty Carly. I sometimes think cats think we can see as clearly in the dark as they can, otherwise they would take such chances!

BIG AND MANY PT PRAYERS for Carly, and for all you are going through otherwise.

Bless you for saving her...who could have shot such a lovely girl?

HUGS and looking forward to a positive update.

I'm so sorry to hear this. Lots of prayers and positive thoughts are being sent her way. Please continue to keep us updated about her and take care. (((HUGS)))

My prayers are with Carly, may she be home with you soon.

Goodness, it's so easy to step on or accidentally kick a cat because they're so good at making themselves invisible. My blackie Boo is an expert at this. I call him Boo Underfoot because of it. Try not to feel so bad. I know, it's easy for me to say but I'm sure we've all stepped on kitties at one time or another. But for someone to have shot at her, well, that's another story. I'm sorry that happened to her. Prayers are going up right now for Car Car and for you that all will be well and that she'll heal quickly, easily and in peace. (((HUGS)))

I'm so sorry to hear about Carly, and I really hope she'll be OK again. Try not to blame yourself too much, this can happen. Just the other evening I kicked/stepped on Fister as I was going through a dark room - he never has been laying in the middle of floor before. Glad that I had soft slippers on and nothing bad happened.

What an a##hole to have shot at her!!

Sending lots of positive thoughts to Carly, and to you.


((((hugs))))

Prayers that Carly will make a full recovery!

And don't blame yourself - accidents happen!

BIG prayers and a candle for you both!!!

[momtomany]

The emergency vet let me bring her home with an IV in and instructions to bring her back if her breathing became labored. I am really worried as she appears to be laboring and will decide in the next hour whether to take her back there. Otherwise I am to take her to her regular vet in the morning. Please continue to pray that she will be alright. I feel so guilty and horrible. I know it was an accident but it still hurts like crazy inside.

[TommyCat]

Oh she is a beauty! I will light a candle and say a prayer for Carly that she is on her way to recovering. Let us know how she's doing.

[carole]

Oh my gosh you poor thing, how awful for you, i never would have thought this could happen to a kitty, my thoughts are with you, and all fingers and paws crossed here that your beautiful Carly makes a speedy recovery and will be fine, HUGS to you and try not to worry the vets will take good care of her.

[Emeraldgreen]

Prayers for beautiful Carly. I can't believe anyone would be so awful to shoot her. That is horrible. Please don't beat yourself up about accidentally stepping on her. I am forever tripping over my cats and sometimes inevitably step on them. I can imagine how you are feeling though as it is clear how much she means to you. Please update us when you can.
